This week, we have written our letters from Naledi to Nono explaining why they had to leave and go to Johannesburg. This morning all of year 5 visited reception who shared their stories of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. We've been learning about lifecycles of mammals and how long their gestation periods are. How long is the gestation period of an elephant?
After the excitement of celebrating King Charles III coronation last week, we have continued to learn about coastal features and coastal erosion. This week we used sand trays and water to investigate longshore drift. We are hoping to see examples of how groynes work to help prevent longshore drift on the Isle of Wight. We began our week working with Monty Lynch, building on our cricket throwing and catching skills. Our non-chronological reports, about South Africa, are almost finished and are looking great and full of information. We have practised estimating, measuring and drawing angles in maths. We even included rotation in our gymnastics this week!
